This textbook is an excellent resource for those students interested in developing a knowledge base in aviation insurance and risk management. The text descibes the various policies available for pilots, and aviation related companies. It also outlines the many types of risk management techniques used to ensure company solvency. The authors have made a very large and complicated subject into something more understandable.
I was looking forward to reading this book because the stories and systems involved with insuring massively valuable risks are so interesting. This book has been a let-down because the very poor editing and clearly outdated material obscure and distract from the interesting subject it tries to cover. The books is rife with grammatical errors such as run-on sentences, comma splices, and incomplete phrases. Some of the information has clearly not been updated in over a decade, and it leaves me wondering whether or not anyone actually read through the book before sending it to press.
Now in an updated and expanded third edition, "Introduction To Aviation Insurance And Risk Management" is the collaborative effort of Alexander T.
